UEFA displays 'stop killing children' banner in Super Cup final with no mention of Gaza
A banner displayed by UEFA ahead of Wednesday's Super Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur has highlighted the European football governing body's complex relationship with political messaging in sports. Before kickoff at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy, a large banner was placed on the pitch that read, "Stop killing children. Stop killing civilians". The message was held by nine children who are refugees in Italy from various conflict zones, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Palestine, and Ukraine, as part of a UEFA Foundation for Children initiative. UEFA amplified the message on its official social media, stating, "From the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, the message is loud and clear". From the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, the message is loud and clear. A banner. A call. — UEFA (@UEFA) August 13, 2025 The banner received much criticism on social media, as UEFA kept the message ambiguous with no mention of 'Israel', Gaza, and Palestine. The sanctioned display comes just weeks after UEFA took disciplinary action against Paris Saint-Germain for fan-led political expression. At the Champions League final on May 31, PSG supporters unfurled a banner that read, 'Stop genocide in Gaza'. On July 31, UEFA fined PSG €10,000 for displaying an 'offensive message' and 'bringing UEFA into disrepute'. This fine was part of a total of nearly €150,000 in penalties for various fan misconducts at the final. The Super Cup banner also follows public criticism directed at UEFA just days earlier. The organization had posted a tribute to Suleiman Al-Obeid, a former Palestinian footballer killed in Gaza, referring to him as the 'Palestinian Pelé'. High-profile figures, including Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and former BBC presenter Gary Lineker, publicly challenged UEFA, with many of the thousands of comments questioning why the tribute omitted details about the circumstances of his death. Al-Obeid, a husband and father of five, was killed by 'Israel' while waiting for humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip.

Newcastle sign German defender Thiaw from Milan
Ammon News - Newcastle United have signed German defender Malick Thiaw from Serie A side AC Milan, the Premier League club said late on Tuesday. Financial details were not disclosed but British media reports said Newcastle paid a transfer fee worth around 34.6 million pounds ($46.69 million) for the 24-year-old. Thiaw was a key part of Milan's defensive line-up last season, making 31 appearances across all competitions, but featured less frequently towards the end of their Serie A campaign as they suffered a disappointing eighth-placed finish. He has also played three times for Germany, with all three of those appearances coming in 2023. "We're really pleased to have Malick on board. He's a player I've admired for a long time and somebody who will add real quality to our defensive options," Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said in a statement. Thiaw is Newcastle's third signing of the summer transfer window, after winger Anthony Elanga's arrival from Nottingham Forest and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale's signing on loan from Southampton. Newcastle, who finished fifth last season to secure a spot in the Champions League, begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Aston Villa on Saturday. Reuters

Their impressive 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich set a record for the largest margin of victory in a Champions League final, securing their place in European football history. Different Pre-Season Journeys PSG have not yet played a pre-season friendly because of their late finish last season.

Key Absences for Both Sides For PSG, the goalkeeping situation is uncertain. Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to leave, and Lille's Lucas Chevalier is set to take his place. Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez return from suspension, but midfielder Joao Neves will miss out due to a FIFA ban. Tottenham are facing significant injury concerns. Playmaker James Maddison is out for most of the season after tearing his ACL. He joins long-term absentees Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin on the sidelines. Left-back Destiny Udogie is also doubtful for this match and the Premier League opener against Burnley.
